Several works bearing unique titles,
written In fascinating style, and CIV
ing evidence OF wonderful imaginative
power have lately been received by
the reading public With much popu.
larity and pleasure.
Perhaps the most striking of them
IS the book bearing the odd title of
she" In this the author has fairly
outdone himself in his popular line.
Ayesha and her beloved KaIlikrates
are unique acharacters in fiction.
Ayesha, the heroine, is q beautiful
creature who tasted OF the essence OF

and became immortal.
Her patient waiting for the coming
OF Kallikrates, the beloved OF her
youth, whose individuality was
maintained through centuries, though
the change called death regularly oc-
CURED, OILY to be followed by rebirth,
is a fine illustration OF woman's ideli.
ty.
The closing scene, when she conducts
Kallikrates to the very center of the
earth, the birthplace OF all life, in or
der that he may taste ofimmortality,
IS q ut climax to the fine creation.
The question naturally suggested by
tins striklngIy original story is wheth-
er there is not somewhere in nature,
a potent force whereby life may at
least be temporarily prolonged.
Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller, editor
OF Dress" says: "In every instance
Warmers Safe Cure has the effect to
give new energy and vitality to all my
powers" Nine. Gray, teacher OF Ora
tory and Physical Culture at SYRIA
cuse, declares: Before Tried physic-
al culture and Warmers safe cure, |
was a confirmed invalid. | owe
much to that excellent remedy,
and do not hesitate to acknowledge
it."
Human life seems too short, though
men in former aces lived longer than
those OF the present. History tells us
that they lived more in accordance
with natures laws-their mode OF liv.
ing was extremely simple, and in their
daily life they followed the dictates OF
human intelligence.
If sickness comes, we of to-day, seek
the remedy among the artificial forces
instead OF resorting to the field OF ma.
ture.
If when diseases come, we would
consult nature, the chances are that
we would fare better, for we would
then treat the cause OF such dis
orders. Modern research has shown
that most OF the commonly known
diseases owe their origin to the un-
healthy state of the kidneys, the
blood purifiers OF the system, and if
they are kept in a healthy state by
the use of Warmers safe cure, a vege-
table compound and simple produce
tion Of nature, much of theprevailing
sickness would be happily averted.
1t is probable that the author of
stSshe1 darived many of his beautiful
.imaginings rom close communines
with nature, Tor we are all agreed
that whatever is of or from nature, is
more beautiful and wholesome, than
that which is artiicially constructed.

London Cor. Philadelphia Telegraph.
The ~allruIing power whom some
men call Providence and Others Fate is
responsible for some curious and sig
nIficant dealings with those with
whom the unthinking world setsdown
as fortunes most tavorite pets. Here
for instance, is his grace Henry Fitz-
alan Howard, X. G., fifteenth duke OF
Norfolk and hereditary earl marshal
OF England, almost fresh from the
grave OF an idolized wife, shedding Nit
ter but mavailing tears over the heir
to his title, now Just recovered from
an attack of illness. With an annual
income exceeding 81, 100000, splen-
did palaces in which to reside, and a
title which dates back to the time of
Richard III. one would think that
the duke ought to be a happy man;
but, as a matter of fact, there is not
a simple cottager or laborer on his
vast estate at Arundel whom he does
not envy one at least of his posses.
sions. The cottager can find happi-
ness in his lusty, healthy lads, grow,
ing up to help him ID his old age
but the duke, with all his wealth
and all his advantages, is forbidden
such joys. All that remains to him
is the poor creature known as the earl

wealth and position is blind, is deaf,
is dumb, is deformed and weak in in

a riddle which BE cannot solve: and
not all wealth of England can al

that This wreck of her hopes FASTENED
the death of the duchess, and it is GER
taihly aging the duke. People who
envy him his rent roll should look al
SO at this skeleton IN his cupboard
and admit that there are some things
more precious than wealth. If the
